This was kino. Are the sequels any good? Any more scenes that are as cool as the club scene?

No
2 and 3 were decent but not as kino as the first one imo. I remember liking 3 a bit more than 2 but they kinda blended together in my head.
Not as kino like I said but I liked them enough that I'll watch John Wick 4 eventually.
1 >>>>> 4 > 3 >>> 2, all worth a watch I'd compare it to going from the Matrix 1 to 2 and 3, not quite as bad but comparable
this but swap 2 and 3
everyone can agree that 1 is the only kino one. 4 was alright but clearly a setup for sequels that nobody will care about
4 had a blind guy that did kung fu and could shoot people. His vision wasn't just impaired, he was literally blind. This only makes sense in something like Book of Eli where there was literal divine intervention but making a blind guy the big bad was fricking moronic.
I started watching 4 on a plane and had to turn it off when there was a 400lb fatass sprinting around and getting into fights
I think the thing with part 4 is by that point you've given up on it creating the illusion of believable gunplay, believing he's just that good. 2 cemented it as just being over the top fantasy so 4 just embraced that and it felt fine. Going from 1 > 2 on the other hand felt awful because the tone shift was so significant from the first movie
4 is capeshit. Wick is invisible until the movies decides its time for him to die to a blind guy. Pathetic glazing of CCP Donnie yen.
1 is the best, 2 is the start of moronation, the rest are moronation cranked to 11. Watch extraction instead.
Problem with the blind guy is at first he's kinda grounded putting censor anywhere BUT then he shows superhuman level of everything and can shoot enemy like he still have eyes
1>>>>>2>>>3>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>4
I enjoyed 2 and 3, haven't got around to watching 4. at the end of 6 John Wick will change his last name to Mnemonic
2 is good. 3 and 4 are capeshit trash
2 has the rome outdoor rave scene followed by the catacombs scene. Then the art museum into the enter the dragon mirror room. Definitely as cool as the club scene.
2 and 3 are a lot of fun. I'm yet to watch 4.
in case you didnt notice, the "o" in "john" is the barrel of his gun.
we're in the hands of professionals here
The first one is kino because it's a self-contained narrative and gives a satisfying conclusion to the story. The action is great while not being comical.
The later ones are slop a la fast & furious
2 managed to keep it contained until the moronic ending.
When he's running around holding his shirt up like it's a shield because it's "bulletproof" has to be the dumbest fricking shit imaginable. The bullets would just brush aside the fabric and hit him.
At least in the first one he isn't invincible. By the 2nd movie everyone is either stormtrooper level shots or he takes more hits than anyone possible could endure.
You got me there
1 and 2 were good, 3 and 4 lost the plot.
It's yet another franchise which conceptually peaked with the first movie.
No, watch Extraction 2 instead
The second one is quite good. Third one not as much. Haven't watched the fourth one
2 and 3 are good, 4 goes batshit to the point where it becomes kino
>midwits discussing plotholes in rule of cool action movies
always missing the forest for the trees
When your "rule of cool" starts to become batshit moronic it becomes a problem. Like how everyone in NYC is a secret assassin, shirts can deflect bullets, blind people can shoot and fight like they aren't fricking blind at all, having multiple shootouts in public including an hour long shoot out in a hotel with absolutely no police presence whatsoever because apparently everyone works for the same crime syndicate. The first one went from "this is neat world building" to the second one being "this is all fricking moronic."
>nooooo it's not realistic I can't understand fiction!
When your world of fiction is grounded in reality, you best try and keep it as realistic as plausible.
It's not grounded in reality
The first one was, do you forget how debilitated John was once the bodyguard managed to stab him with a broken bottle under his vest?
he gets injured in all of them, it's not grounded in reality
It very much is. He's not suppose to be neo here. Or superman. He's just a very good assassin that goes on a revenge mission. The first movie sets things up nicely, even showing him being vulnerable by having to see a doctor after getting hit. Then the following movies make everything dumb ass frick for reasons already stated ITT.
>Just turn your brain off bro
You should do a plinkett review documenting all the plotholes so a major studio can do a reboot where they "fix it", you'll look very smart doing this.
I bet you think Prometheus is a very smart movie.
No, it's a dumb movie that wants to be smart. I dunno why you brought it up. The John Wick movies are expressions in style, nitpicking plotholes is missing the point.
oh no you're moronic.
2 is really good, significantly better than 1 in my opinion. 3 is decent but kinda forgettable. Haven't seen 4.
They get more and more moronic. They still have some pretty cool scenes though.
4 is almost as good as 1, 2 and 3 are decent.
>only 1 is good
>all of them suck
yes, yes, you're all very edgy and super cynical and that would make you cool if we couldn't actually smell you through our screens.
>I WARNED YOU ABOUT STAIRS BRO
Yeah, no thanks.
What is this in reference to?
>IT KEEPS HAPPENING
Is this from one of the sequels or something
It's an old shitpost that happens to perfectly fit part of one of the sequels, so sort of.
Take your meds kiddo
I'm older'n you, mate. 4 is the best homage to HK cinema a fan could ask for and casting Marko "John Colt" Zaror as the heavy was icing on the cake.
Oh wow you're 30, so old much wise
Get the frick out
Go up two decades.
That's why I think of it as chuuni behavior.
then you'll either retort
>time for bed grampa
or
>imagine being that old and still posting here
and then I'll say that I already had my nap or 'you'll understand when you're older' depending.
Jesus Christ. Imagine being that old, and still posting here. What a hellish existence.
I've never been able to watch these movies. I don't like them.
Imagine barely seeing John Wick now. Anyone that hasnt seen them all by now is a homosexual.
Check out The Man From Nowhere. It's the Korean John Wick.
>It's the Korean John Wick.
Dude what if they made one of the assassins have polio? How kick ass would that be.
4 = 2 > 1 >>>>>>> 3
I was bored to tears with 3 from start to finish.
Why do i get the feeling this movie was made for indian and chinese boys? I didn't like it. Only saw the first one. It wasn't kino. It just had a good music to action sync moment and it was a short one at that.
These movies are overrated. Chad and David, understand how to move a camera but they suck at everything else. The first movie is a fluke, they had time restraints and Keanu has a broken back plus old so they taught him simple judo throws and tactical shooting down the range. This was perfect. In the sequels they go up their own asses and started adding kung fu nonsense and braindead henchmen who wait to get hit in the face.
Part 4 is one of the worst movies of 2023.
2 is OK. It's not as good as the first one but still overall decent. 3 lost the sauce. Have not seen 4 yet.
There are no sequels.
2 is alright, 3 is notably dumb but also a lot of fun and has a handful of really standout scenes, and unfortunately 4 kind of sucks.
